1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Brakes Problems

I THINK MY JEEP IS REMOTELY BUGGED SOMEHOW, ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND MY BRAKES WORK, ABS LIGHT GOES OUT AND MY BRAKES MAKE NOISE AND PEDAL GOES DOWN FURTHER LIKE I HAVE NO BRAKES. ALSO, TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS STEADY THEN SUDDENLY IT GOES UP AND DOWN. I HAVE CHECKED FLUIDS, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED (REPLACED PADS AND FRONT ROTORS) I WENT TO POLICE SAID THEY HAD NO WAY OF TESTING FOR BUGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKES HESITATED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE BUTTON AND SPRING POPPED OUT OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE. IT APPEARS THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE NHTSA INCIDENT NUMBER APPLIED FOR EARLIER MODEL YEARS. THAT NUMBER 95RV172000 WAS OBTAINED VIA INTERNET SEARCH OF JEEP OWNER WEBSITES AND COMMERCIAL AUTOMOTIVE MAGAZINE INFORMATION. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS INOPERABLE WITHOUT THE RELEASE BUTTON, HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME THE BRAKE IS IN THE RELEASED POSITION AND VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE. *TR

BRAKE LINE HOSES RUSTED THROUGH RESULTING IN NO BRAKING POWER. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES OCCURRED. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS A VIOLENT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE RUSTED.

FOR OVER A YEAR THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE SQUEAKED (A RUBBING NOISE) WHEN DRIVING (NOT DURING BRAKING, WHICH STOPS THE NOISE). DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED AN BALANCED. DEALER CLAIMS THE FRONT PADS ARE THIN AND CRUMBLING AND THAT BOTH PADS AND ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER STATES THE FRONT ROTORS ARE TOO THIN TO BE TURNED. THIS IS UNUSUAL SINCE THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED IN 2000 UNDER RECALL 00V136000. THE SUV HAS BEEN DRIVEN 90,000 MILES SINCE THEN - THE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED - THE ROTORS HAVE NOT BEEN TURNED PREVIOUSLY. RELATED TO THE RECALL, OTHER USERS REPORT TOO HARD PADS WITH TOO SOFT ROTORS. IN ONE DRIVING STYLE THIS LEADS TO EXCESSIVE HEAT THAT WARPS THE SUB-PAR ROTORS. IN MY DRIVING STYLE THE PADS GET HOT (WHICH CAUSES THEM TO CRUMBLE EVENTUALLY), NOT HOT ENOUGH TO WARP ROTORS, BUT SUFFICIENT TO GRIND AWAY THE ROTORS LEADING TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF BOTH PARTS. IF ROTORS CAN GET SO THIN THEY CAN'T BE TURNED (HAVING NEVER BEEN TURNED), THEN THE COMBINATION OF CRUMBLY PADS MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS COMBINATION. SINCE DEALER IS AWARE OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT TOO-HARD PADS AND TOO-SOFT ROTORS FROM THESE AND ITS OTHER MAKE/MODELS... IT APPEARS THIS MISMATCHED COMBO IS INTENTIONAL. DEALER SHOULD REPLACE OR HEAVILY DISCOUNT PREMATURE FAILURE PARTS. DEALER CLAIMS ALL WEAR IS NORMAL AND 90K LIFE FOR ROTORS IS GOOD (AND PROBABLY IS STATISTICALLY IF YOU INCLUDE 15K LIFE OF RECALLED DEFECTIVE ROTORS). THE RECALL REPAIR REPLACED ONE PART OF THE DEFECT COMBO WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART, JUST LESS PRONE TO RAPID FAILURE IF DRIVEN EASY, I.E. IT FAILS PREMATURE TO NORMAL LIFE OF SIMILAR PARTS ACROSS INDUSTRY. I ELECTED TO WAIT ON REPLACING PARTS UNTIL I COULD GATHER MORE INFO. I CAME ACROSS OTHER REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS FOR CHRYSLER WITH THE PAD/ROTOR COMBO. *NM

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEN AROUND NOV OF 2002, WHILE DRIVING ON A WET ROAD IN TAMPA, FL, SPEED ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES, THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I SLID THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, MISSING TWO CARS. THE REAR BRAKES LOCK UP AT ODD TIMES. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE HOUSING HAS BEEN CLEANED, BOTH DRUMS HAVE BEEN TURNED. FLUID HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM SYSTEM AND REPLACED WITH NEW DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. NO IMPROVEMENT, BRAKES STILL LOCK UP. *JB

DT: CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 20 MPH. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF CONSUMER STOPPED, WHEN CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO STOP VEHICLE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND, CONSUMER 'S VEHICLE HIT OTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR. AFTER ACCIDENT CONSUMER DROVE HOME BUT STILL HAD NO BRAKES, HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. CONSUMER HAD MECHANIC COME TO HER HOUSE TO EXAMINE VEHICLE. MECHANIC FOUND THAT BRAKE ROTORS WHERE SEPARATED. CONSUMER DONE RESEARCH ON INTERNET TO FIND THAT THERE WAS RECALL 00V136000 ON MAKE/ MODEL AND YEAR, BUT MANUFACTURE TOLD CONSUMER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL .. CONSUMER WAS HAVING PROBLEM FIXED BY REPLACING ROTORS. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED REGULARLY. CONSUMER BELIEVED ROTORS WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.*AK

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HUB CAME OFF THE ROTOR. THE RESULTED IN CONSUMER LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE FRONT LEFT BRAKE STOPPED THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, AND HUB PLATE. THIS OCCURRED DUE TO THE DEFECT DESCRIBED IN THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR RECALL 00V136000, BUT CONSUMER DIDN'T LIVE IN THE RECALL STATES LISTED.*AK SEPARATION DUE TO CORROSION. *TC

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. CONSUMER SWIRLED IN ORDER TO AVOID A PEDESTRIAN AND ANIMAL. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A DITCH. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A MEDICAL TECHNICIAN WAS ON DUTY FROM THE AMBULANCE, AND EXAMINED THE DRIVER, WHO WAS OKAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED, AND TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.*AK

WHEN DRIVING ABS LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE LOST BRAKE POWER. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND CAME ON IT RESET ITSELF. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

WHEN CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHANGED HE FOUND THAT THE BOLTS ON EACH SIDE OF THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WERE MISSING. *AK THE DEALER REPLACED THE MISSING BOLTS. *NM

WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK THERE WAS NUMEROUS REPAIRS THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED; THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, GAS CAP(S), NEW KEYLESS REMOTE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DID NOT WORK. RECALL# 02V053000. *SC THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE POWER ASSIST, THE CONSUMER WAS ORIGINAL TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE AND THEN LATER WAS TOLD THE CHARGE WOULD BE $400.00. *JB

PARKING BRAKE BUTTON POPPED OFF WITH SPRING AS DRIVER WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE. PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT ENGAGE NOW.*AK

ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS WORE OUT. DEALERSHIPS REPLACED THE ROTORS TWICE, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. ALSO, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE BUTTON POPPED OUT WHEN APPLIED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THE MECHANIC ORDERED THE PART FOR REPLACEMENT. *NM

1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, VIN [XXX] RECALL NUMBER: 00V136000, DATED MAY 10, REPLACEMENT OF FRONT ROTORS DUE TO POSSIBLE CORROSIVE DAMAGE -TOOK JEEP TO TYSON'S JEEP, INC. ON OCTOBER 5, 2000, ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES SQUEAKING. NO MENTION OF THE RECALL. BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND FRONT ROTORS REFACED (MILEAGE = 40,893) -TOOK JEEP BACK ON NOVEMBER 29, 2000, ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN STILL SQUEAKING. ALSO ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL. NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE SQUEAK. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL AND THAT ALL BRAKES SQUEAK. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT JEEP HAD DONE RESEARCH ON THESE BRAKES AND DETERMINED THAT DIFFERENT DRIVERS GET DIFFERENT RESULTS AND THAT WE MUST HANDLE OUR VEHICLE HARSHLY. (MILEAGE = 44,007) - TOOK JEEP BACK ON MARCH 13, 2002, ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN THERE IS EVEN MORE NOISE AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE PAPER IS STUCK BETWEEN THE BRAKES. THIS TIME REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED, REAR ROTORS TURNED AT A COST TO US OF (MILEAGE = 56,780) - TOOK JEEP BACK ON MARCH 11, 2003, ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN SQUEAKING YET AGAIN. TOLD THAT THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES, COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM(MILEAGE = 69,532) - TOOK JEEP BACK ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2003 FOR THE 75,000 MILE CHECK UP. WE DID NOT ASK THEM TO CHECK ON THE BRAKES THIS TIME EVEN WHEN I HEAR SOMETHING AND ASK THEM TO CHECK THEY NEVER FIND A PROBLEM. [XXX] CALLED TO TELL US THAT OUR FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE CORRODED AND RUSTING AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL, HE SAID THAT OUR ROTORS HAD BEEN REPLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL ON JULY 14, 2000. WHEN INFORMED THAT WE HAD BEEN TOLD THAT WE WERE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL AND THE FRONT ROTORS HAD BEEN TURNED ON OCTOBER 5, 2000, LESS THAN 3 MONTHS LATER, HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW AND HE DID NOT WORK AT TYSON'S JEEP THEN, BUT THE RECORDS SHOWED THAT WE HAD THE RECALL REPLACEMENT ON JULY 14, 2000. (MILEAGE = 75,000) *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT AND ACCELERATE PROPERLY, THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*JB THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, ALL THE GAUGES ILLUMINATED, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ADJUSTED, AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED.*TS *JB

I PURCHASED A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN JULY 2002 WITH 30000 MILES WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS TO REPORT. PROBLEM 1-- MY JEEP ONLY HAS 44000 MILES ON IT NOW AND MY BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED. PROBLEM 2--THIS MAY SOUND FUNNY BUT ITS TRUE. THE 1998 JEEP GRAND I HAVE HAS ITS SPARE TIRE INSIDE COMPARTMENT ABOVE FUEL TANK. THIS PAST WINTER I TRIED TO REMOVE MY SPARE AND FOUND THAT DUE TO CONDENSATION IT WAS FROZEN TO THE COMPARTMENT. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NEED IT AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE. WELL IT JUST SO HAPPENS I HAD TO USE MY SPARE TIRE ON 5/16/03, WHEN I REMOVED THE SPARE FROM THE COMPARTMENT THERE WAS ABOUT 1 GALLON OF WATER SITTING AROUND THE SPARE. I HAVE NO LEAKS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT OR WHAT CAN I DO TO GET RID OF THE CONDENSATION BUILD UP. *JB

BRAKES FAILED AT 20 MPH. REAR-ENDED VOLVO STATION WAGON. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT I NEEDED BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED. CHEROKEE HAD LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON IT. FIVE MONTHS LATER JEEP RECALLED ROTORS. BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ORIGINAL OEM PARTS (IE. ROTORS) THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN DISPUTING INSURANCE RATE INCREASE OR COST OF ROTOR/BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. ***NOTE*** JEEP IS ON THIRD SET OF ROTORS AND IS IN NEED OF YET ANOTHER AS THESE ARE WARPED. AND JEEP IS NOT AT THE 100,000 MILE MARK YET! *NLM

I HAD MY FRONT BRAKE ROTORS REPLACED AT 67,220 MILES - AT THAT TIME THE FRONT BRAKES WERE SHOT, YET THE REAR BRAKES HAD 50% LIFE REMAINING (APPEARS TO BE UNDUE PRESSURE PLACED ON FRONT BRAKES. AFTER ONLY 5,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE PULSATED WHILE BRAKING. SO AT 73,091 MILES AT HAD FRONT BRAKES RESURFACED, AT WHICH TIME THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BRAKES WERE ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF OVER HEATING AND WERE ALREADY WARPED. I HAD REAR BRAKES DONE (EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD SUFFICIENT LIFE REMAINING) AT THE SAME TIME IN CASE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE 16,000 MILES ON THE FRONT BRAKES (10,000 MILES AFTER FIRST RESURFACING), THEY AGAIN ARE PULSATING STRONGLY, AND REQUIRE UNDUE PRESSURE FROM MY FOOT TO MAKE THEM WORK APPROPRIATELY....ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINEERING AND/OR MANUFACTURING OF THE BRAKES. *JB

AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. *NLM

1. FUEL INJECTOR FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE AND OPERATE ON ONLY 5 OUT OF 6 CYLINDERS. 2. IN THE SAME CYLINDER (#6) ROD BROKE, CAUSING ENGINE TO BLOW AND NEED REPLACEMENT AT ONLY 42,000 MILES. 3. POWER STEERING PUMP ALMOST FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. (MOST LIKELY DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION AFTER ENGINE REBUILD). 4. BRAKES CONSTANTLY SQUEAK OR MAKE GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED. WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 50 DEGREES, A HIGH PITCHED WHINNING NOISE IS HEARD FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. CAN ONLY BE HEARD WHEN TRAVELING UNDER 45 MPH - DUE TO ROAD NOISE MASKING THE SOUND. (MULTIPLE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS NOR BE ABLE TO FIX IT, SO CONSTANTLY WHINES). 5. FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHEN 3/4 FULL (DROPS TO EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT TURNS ON, THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL READING. WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNTIL TANK IS 1/4 FULL). TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. 6. TRANSMISSION IS OCCASIONALLY ROUGH (JERKY SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS).*JB

WHILE DEPRESSING ON THE BRAKES CONSUMER HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK THE CONSUMER HAS THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED. *NM

BRAKE ROTORS CONTINUALLY WRAP. WRAPED AT 10,000, 18,000 27,000, AND NOW AGAIN AT 38,000. CHYRSLER REFUSES TO ADMIT TO A PROBLEM. FRONT ROTORS REPLACE BY RECALL AND ALSO HAVE WRAPED. SERVICE BULLITEN WAS ALSO PERFORMED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED.

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON EVEN THOUGH BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED.

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER 12 TIMES FOR RUST MARKS ON THE VEHICLE WHICH THE DEALER DESCRIBED AS FALL OUT AND THEY INSISTED IT WAS SOMETHING THE CONSUMER HAD DONE TO CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN SO SOON, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED, AS THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ALL THE GAUGES WENT OUT AND THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED, THE AIR CONDITION AND RADIO WERE INOPERATIVE AND STILL IS, THERE WAS A THUMPING NOISE WHICH WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROTORS WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM WAS WITH THE POWER WINDOWS. *JB

THREE MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, RUST MARKS APPEARED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNTIONED WITH OUT ANY WARNING. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE RADIO. THERE IS A THUMPING NOISE IN THE ROTORS THAT WAS FIXED BUT THE NOISE STILL REMAINS. *JG

RE: 00V136000 YOU IMPLEMENTED A RECALL THAT INCLUDED 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES IN CERTAIN STATES. MY QUESTION IS WHY WAS DELAWARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SINCE YOU HAVE PRACTICALLY EVERY STATE SURROUNDING DELAWARE INCLUDED? (IE. MARYLAND, NEW JERSEY, PA & NY.

ROTORS REPLACED UNDER RECALL HAVE NOW FAILED IN LESS THAN 8000 MILES. DT

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR OTHER ISSUES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD CRUMBLED INTO PIECES WHEN THEY WERE REMOVED. TS *JB

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. ALSO STATED THAT SHE HAD A RECALL ON THE ROTORS AND HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP WHO HAD CHANGE THE ROTORS BUT NEVER DID. SO SHE FAIL HER INSPECTION. TS

THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM RIGHT BEFORE 2000 MILES. THE DEALER HAVE CHANGED THEM ON TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE PAST AND I HAVE THREE TIME. THE LAST TIME RECENTLY, I HAD TO CHANGE THE ROTORS THREE TIMES BEFORE I GOT SOME THAT WEREN'T WORPED. THEY ONLY LASTED FOR LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE THEY WERE OVERHEATED AND WARPED AGAIN. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ALL THE TIME FOR A PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE BETTER THAN THAT. CHRYSLER HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY ROTORS THAT WILL LAST. PRESENTLY, THE WARPED ROTORS ARE ON MY JEEP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE TRIED AFTER MARKET AND THEY ARE WORST. THANK YOU DT

INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSE AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MR THERE IS AN EXHAUST TYPE OF NOISE EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. *JG

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN PARK THE PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGES CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR

THE TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AND HAS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAILING IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE JUST REPLACED BECAUSE OF WARPING AND SHUDDERING WHILE STOPPING WHILE STOPPING AT SPEED OVER 30 MPH.

REAR PARKING BRAKE SHOES SEEM TO "FALL OFF" OF BACKING PLATES. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME VEHICLE, AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY SERVICE ADVISOR STATED HE HAS SEEN THIS ON OTHER VEHICLES, AS WELL AS A DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. ONCE THE SHOW SEPARATES INSIDE THE REAR BRAKE, THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DAIMERCHRYSLER STATES IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE BRAKES. IF A CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW THAT HIS PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERATIVE, IT COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT.*AK

A CLUNKING SOUND IS COMING FROM BOTH REAR DRUMS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM REOCCURS. *AK THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS STARTED AT 23542 MILES (BOTH REAR DRUMS HAD BEEN REPLACED). AT 30889 ON JULY 10, 2002 THE DRUMS FOUND TO BE OUT OF ROUND. TWO WEEKS LATER THE NOISE RETURNED. *SCC

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP ON 8/9/2000 FOR A RECALL ISSUED BY JEEP REGARDING DEFECTIVE FROM BRAKE ROTORS. ROTORS WERE REPLACE BY DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH A CHARGE OF $100 FOR NEW PADS (VEHICLE ONLY HAD 23,175 MILES). BRAKES WORKED FINE PRIOR TO THE RECALL, HOWEVER SINCE THE REPAIR THEY SQUEAK FROM TIME TO TIME AND HAD BEGUN TO GET WORSE. ON 8/9/2001, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP REFUSHED TO REPLACE PARTS, COMMENTING "IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM THE JEEPS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FRONT BRAKES. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A JEEP WITH NEW BRAKE PADS TO EAT THROUGH THE ROTORS IN LESS THAN 9,000 MILES. IT YOU WANT IT FIXED YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS." THE REPAIR INVOICE NOW STATES "VEHICLE NEEDS ROTORS, CUSTOMER DECLINE AT THIS TIME" BECAUSE I WILL NOT PAY THEM TO FIX A KNOWN JEEP DEFECT. PROBLEM WAS THEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF CHYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHOSE SOLUTION WAS THAT I BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS $75 FOR INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES SO THAT THEY COULD PROCESS A REPORT. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH ME TO REVIEW THE PARTS, HOWEVER IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE $75 INSPECTION. I AM NOW STUCK WITH THE OPTION OF PAYING CHYRSLER AN ADDTIONAL $75 (WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY CREATED) OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. REPLACING ONE SET OF DEFECTIVE ROTORS WITH ANOTHER SET OF DEFECTIVE ROTORS IS NOT CLOSURE ON A RECALL.*AK

I BOUGHT A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 16,000MILES IN MARCH 2000 & THOUGHT IT WAS A FINE RUNNING VEHICLE WITH EXCELENT BRAKES. JEEP RECALLED THE ROTORS & REPLACED THEM WITH STAINLESS STEEL ONES ON 10/10/2000 AT 29,234MILES. THE MECHANIC COMMENTED ABOUT A PROBLEM & ON THE WAY HOME WE ALSO NOTICED A TERRIBLE CHANGE IN THE CAR. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE VEHICLE BUCKS & SHUDDERS, PRACTICALLY KNOCKS YOUR TEETH OUT! VERY REDUCED & UNSAFE STOPPING RESULTED. THESE ROTORS HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES & TOMORROW WILL BE THE FIFTH TIME, ALL STILL UNDER WARRENTEE. THESE NEW JEEP ROTORS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF PLANE, LIKE A WARPED RECORD, RESULTING IN UNSAFE BRAKING & GREAT DISCOMFORT. OUR FINE VEHICLE HAS BECOME A LEMON WITH THESE ROTORS! CHRYSLER WILL NOT GIVE US ANY HELP, EXCEPT TO TELL US TO DEAL WITH OUR LOCAL JEEP SERVICE MANAGER, WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO DO. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? LETTER TO THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL?*AK

ROTORS BECAME WARPED AT 19380 MILES AND 34087 MILES AND HAD TO BE TURNED DUE TO FLAT SPOTS ON THEM. THE ORIGINAL DISC PADS ARE STILL INUSE AND THERE WAS NO EXCESSIVE SLAMMING OF THE BRAKES OR SUDDEN STOPS INVOLVED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE THINNESS OF THE BACKING ON THE ROTOR HUB, A PROBLEM SIMILIAR TO THAT FOUND ON CERTIAN FORDS IN THE PAST. PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED AND OWNERS REIMBURSED FOR EXPENSES ALREADY INCURRED.*AK

I WANT TO KNOW WHY VEHICLES IN MINNESOTA, ESPECIALLY TWIN CITIES AREA, ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BRAKE ROTOR SALT BELT RECALL (RECALL 00V136000) ISSUED BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION INVOLVING THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE? OUR WINTERS LAST 6 TO 7 MONTHS DURING WHICH THIS YEAR THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WAS RUNNING OUT OF SALT DUE TO THE EXTREME USAGE THIS WINTER REQUIRED. YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WE DON'T QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED A WRITTEN DENIAL FROM DAMLIER-CHRYSLER REQUESTING THIS RECALL BE PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY CAR. AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAFE AND SECURE KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WHERE HEAVY SALT USAGE OCCURS? DOES ANYONE SEE THE MASSIVE LAWSUIT PENDING FROM OWNERS LIVING IN MINNESOTA? I WANT AN ANSWER TO THIS AND I WANT MY ROTORS REPLACED WITH THE NEW STYLE ROTORS NAMED IN THE RECALL. *AK

I HAVE BEEN WITH A TERRIBLE NOISE FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SECTION FROM SINCE A BRAKE JOB WAS DONE BY THE DEALER STARTIN AUGUST 19TH, 1999.FIRST THERE WAS A SQUEEKING SOUND RIGHT AFTER PADS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED EARLY SEPTEMBER FOR CORRECTION AND AFTER SECOND BRAKE JOB DONE THERE WAS ANOTHER TERRIBLE NOISE (WORSE THAN THE FIRST NOISE) WHEN EVER THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I WAS GIVEN ANOTHER APPIONTMENT TO CORRECT THE JOB FOR THE THIRD TIME, AND IT STILL WAS NOT CORRECTED. FOR 4 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES A MONTH FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.I HAVE PAID FOR THE JOB 3 TIMES FROM ALL THESE TIMES. THEY HAVE CHANGD THE WORLD OF PARTS AND THE NOISE IS STILL WORSE THAN BEFORE. I NORMALLY LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES, BUT THE JOB CANNOT BE CORRECTED YET. AT PRESENT THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER FOR THE SAME BRAKE JOB, AND AFTER FIVE DAYS OF CHANGING PARTS AND THE PROBLEM STIIL PERSIST, THE DEALER IS CALLING ME TO SIGN AND PICK UP THE VEHICLE, AND THEY WILL CALL ME AT SOME PIONT TO RETURN IT WHEN THEY HAVE THE CORRECT TOOL TO DETECT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM. THIS TOOL I WAS TOLD BY A REP WAS ALREADY ODERED FROM CHRSLER 2 MONTHS AGO FOR AN INTREPID WITH SAME PROBLEM, BUT IS YET TO ARRIVE IN P.R. I AM RENTING CARS ALL THE TIMES AND MY VEHICLE WOULD BE RETURNED TO AFTER 5 DAYS SOME TIMES FROM THE DEALER WITH JOB INCOMPLETE AND A NEW APPIONTMENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH FOR 4 MONTHS CANNOT BE SOLVED. THE FINAL IDEA FROM THE DEALER IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN CHANGING ALL THESE PARTS, AND THE NOISE STILL PERSIST(GREATER). TAKE YOUR VEHICLE AND WHEN WE RECEIVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT FROM CHRYSLER THEY WILL CALL ME TO TRY AGAIN. I HAVE RISK MY LIFE AND FAMILY LIFE TO MANY TIMES BY DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE IN THAT CONDITION.SOMETIMES WHEN I CAN'T AFFORD ANYMORE RENTAL CAR BOTH MY WIFE AND I ASK FRIENDS TO TAKE US TO AND FROM WORK, BECUASE SO MANY TIMES WE BRING OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME MATTER.

THE TWO FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING WARPED. THEY WERE REPLACED AT 7500 MILES APPROXIMATELY. TODAY, 12-28-98, THE TWO REAR ROTORS ARE BEING REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING WARPED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE THING CHRYSLER, SINCE THEY WON'T COVER THE ROTORS AFTER 12000 MILES OR TWELVE MONTHS. THE DISC BREAK SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED IF THE ROTORS KEEP WARPING IN MY OPINION.
